Which book character are you?

lloydslights — Tue, 04 Feb 2014 21:38:05 GMT

I loved reading Heidi and Anne of Green Gables when I was young (and a few times later, as well).

In answering some of the other threads here, I realized that I was in fact, like those characters.

I too, had an affinity with older people in my life; my grandfather mainly. He was patient and understanding. The joy in his eyes when he saw me resolve a problem, or discover something new was so encouraging. My love of gardening, and reading resembles his life.

To Bessie/ Fannie. I had not heard of those books until I looked into Wikapaedia. My Enid Blyton experience was Noddy, and his friend Sooty.

I was dealt a poor imagination re the "magical" side of literature. To this day, I don't like Alice in Wonderland. Or Science Fiction, Star Trek, or even The Magic Pudding.

But of course, each to their own. That's what makes the world go round. (And discussions within the forum multi faceted.)

spot, i don't believe you (bateman), i had to google the name as i had forgotten it, will never forget the book though - horrible, horrible, horrible. I always (nearly) force myself to finish any book I start, that one was difficult - had to cover it at night and tossed it into the bin when i finished it

keng, thinking about it, I can probably thank Enid for my love of picnic's, May for my love of Australian Flora and Fauna and Norman Lindsay is one of my favourite Australian artists.

In the opinion of some others with vivid imaginations, I have been accused of number of litirary characters, Quite a few in fact.

These are just some :-

Alice from Alice in Wonderland

Nurse Ratched from One Flew Over a Cuckoo's Nest

A canine called Fifi from gawd knows where

Just to name a few

I wouldn't align myself with any character, neither from fiction or fact besides the character that has been developing all my life and no doubt will continue until i shuffle off my mortal coil 🙂
